STEM Career Pivot: How Nina Hooper Turned Curiosity into Career-Defining Moves from Harvard to Space Tech

What if your enthusiasm—not your credentials—was the spark that could turn your STEM career into a launchpad of endless opportunities?


🔍 What You’ll Learn:

  • How stepping out of your comfort zone to test your vision—even briefly—can accelerate your corporate or entrepreneurial career.
